File Names
Files names can be made up of letters, numbers and some symbols. We recommend stripping as many unusual symbols from your files names as these are likely to lead to issues uploading. The following symbols will definitely cause invalid files in Blackboard:
- +
- :
Related Pages
- Folders
- Items
- Course Files (WebDav)
